Forgotten Features of the Founding: The Recovery of Religious
Themes in the Early American Republic is a book of six original
essays that explore the deep significance of previously neglected
religious themes in the Founding Era. Author James Hutson argues
convincingly that without understanding these themes, it is
impossible to comprehend the religious mentality of the Founding
Era. Among the themes elucidated and explored are the doctrine of
the future state of rewards and punishments, the civil magistrate's
idealized role as the nursing father, and the conception of rights
as moral powers grounded in religion. Hutson's thought-provoking
and exhaustively researched essays challenge current scholarship on
the Founding Era, which often downplays the importance of Christian
ideals in the formation of the American government. Forgotten
Features of the Founding is a must read for scholars of American
history and those interested in the role of religion in American
life.
